Explanation:"jabón" is literal for "soap", and certainly is a common, everyday usage term. However, "detergente" is generally more precise.

"antibacteriano" is the correct translation for "antibacterial", no other translation is really correct.
This reminds me of the X-File teleseries, where Scully started using the term "células epitélicas", in what was a literal translation from the English "epithelic".
